gonzo — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:22:56 +0000

99X introduced the Ark-La-Tex to the new Alice In Chains track 'Hollow' just before the holidays. The song was vintage AIC, with the Drop D tuning, sludgy riffs, and harmonies, and had us chomping at the bit for the new album. At the time, little information was available about the forthc

Silvertide Reunites – New Music Coming in 2013 [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 18:44:37 +0000

Silvertide is back! Great news for me, as their 'American Excess' EP and 'Show and Tell' CD were mainstays in my car CD player for 2 or 3 years. Live this band just killed. To this day, some of the best live performances I've ever seen. And I've seen a few. I predicted that these guys would be one of the hottest bands in the world...and what do they do? They break up. Bastards.

Sevendust Sets March 2013 Date For Release of New Album [VIDEO]

gonzo — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:18:30 +0000

Strange. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had several people ask me questions like “What happened to Sevendust?”, “What’s Lejon (Witherspoon) doing these days?”… And today, the answer to those questions popped up. Sevendust is still alive and well, Lejon is still the frontman, and they’ve been locked away in the studio recording a [...]

gonzo — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:47:37 +0000

Oklahoma band Hinder has their fourth album in the can, and we should see 'Welcome to the Freakshow' in stores and online soon. 99X has been banging 'Save Me', the first track from the album, and if it's any indication, we can expect more of the arena rock/ballads that Hinder is known for, i.e., don't be looking for dubstep from these guys.

gonzo — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:21:19 +0000

Time flies, huh?

The deluxe edition includes the remastered edition of the album, a DVD, and [...]

Leogun Rocks the KISS Kruise [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:51:19 +0000

Leogun is a new trio from the U.K. you've been hearing a lot of on 99X lately. With influences ranging from Zeppelin to Jack White, it's no surprise that you you don't hear autotune, sampling, or the typical studio B.S. that a lot of today's new artists seem to overuse to the extreme.

Dallas Rockers Drowning Pool are in the studio working on their fifth album with their fourth singer (so much for the 'third time is a charm' thing, huh?). For the as-yet-untitled album (due in early 2013), the band brought The Suicide Hook singer Jasen Moreno on board, and if the first song resulting from combination is any indication, Drowning Pool is definitely back!

Chevelle Set to Release 'Greatest Hits' Collection [VIDEO]

gonzo — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 23:31:28 +0000

Is the grass - or cash - greener on the other side? Whenever I see that a band is releasing a greatest hits CD, I always assume that they've found a way to score more cash from a different record label, or they've decided to go at it on their own. The old "so...according to our contract, we owe you one more album..." And nine out of ten times, that album ends up being a live record, or a collection of previous hits. With maybe one new song included. The contractual obligation album.

Brent Smith of Shinedown Says Follow-up to 'Amaryllis' is Already Recorded [VIDEO]

gonzo — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 23:03:53 +0000

Shinedown have been across the pond recently (wrapping up their European tour just days ago), and at an interview with British magazine NME prior to their show at Brixton Academy in London, frontman Brent Smith dropped a little inside information: Shinedown's next album? The follow-up to the hugely successful 'Amaryllis'? It's already finished.

One of my favorite bands, Rival Sons, just wrapped up a headlining tour of Europe, and to celebrate, they’ve released a photo-documentary from their show at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 7th.

Band to Watch For – Beware of Darkness [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:14:40 +0000

Beware of Darkness. Are they named after the Spock's Beard album or the George Harrison song? Or none of the above? I have no idea, as information on the band seems to be as rare as Lindsay Lohan sobriety chips. What I can tell you is that the band was formed in L.A. by singer/guitarist Kyle Nicolaides and drummer Tony Cupito in 2010.

Sex, Horsepower, and Some Tasty Riffs Featured in New Jack White Video For 'Freedom At 21″ [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:49:57 +0000

The new single from Jack White's latest effort 'Blunderbuss' is 'Freedom at 21', and Jack pulls out all the stops in this one. Directed by Hype Williams in a nod to Tarantino & Rodriguez, White serves up a Grindhouse style story of (female) Cop chases man...(female) cop catches man...(female) cop has her way with man in the slammer.

John Corabi, best known for his vocal work with The Scream, Motley Crue (sorry Vince…but I LOVED Corabi with the Crue), and Union, has opted to unplug for his upcoming album. Look for both new and classic songs on his new acoustic release, creatively titled ‘Unplugged’. ‘Unplugged’offers five new original tracks and seven re-recorded classic [...]
